What about my employer?
State Law (ARS 21-236) prohibits an employer from discharging, harassing, or discriminating against an employee for being absent to serve as a juror, provided the employee gives reasonable notice of their scheduled jury duty. Employers are not required to pay employees while on jury duty, however many employers elect to provide compensation. You will receive documentation of your jury duty, as some employers require proof of service.
Do I get reimbursed?
You will receive a mileage reimbursement check, unless you use public transportation and choose to receive one bus pass instead. The rate for mileage reimbursement is set by law and the roundtrip distance is based on the mileage from the center of your zip code to the Courthouse. If you are selected to serve on a jury, you will be paid $12 per day, which is set by law.
Checks for jury service are mailed to your home address and typically arrive within four weeks. Questions regarding jury checks should be directed to the Office of the Jury Commissioner at Maricopa County Superior Court at 602-372-5879.
